An Indiana man has been sentenced to 88 years in prison for a mass shooting at an Indianapolis bar last March after a judge rejected arguments by the man’s attorney that tried to pin the blame for the shooting on Indiana’s gun laws.  27-year-old Nicholas Fulk was convicted back in March for the shooting at a bar called Landsharks that killed Timothy Brown, who was helping out behind the bar that night, and left five others injured. At his sentencing on Monday, Fulk’s attorney argued that Brown’s death was really the fault of lawmakers, not…

Military Permanent Change of Station (PCS) moves always end up costing more than you think they will. While the U.S. government reimburses many moving expenses or gives benefits and allotments, most military members also experience unexpected out-of-pocket costs. Veteran spouse and military life expert Joanna Guldin joined the PCS With Military.com podcast to discuss military discounts that can help troops and their families save some cash over a move. Here are a few of her tips for finding military discounts during a military move. Know what you’re looking for, then visit Military.com’s discount center. Over her own moves, as well…

While it’s a common trope among anti-gunners to blame the United States for so-called gun crime in other countries, especially Mexico and Canada, there’s at least some truth to the fact that the guns come from the United States much of the time. It’s not our fault that bad people want to do bad things, but yeah, a lot of the guns are trafficked from American sources. But it’s not necessarily the fault of the United States.In fact, one recent arrest for attempted trafficking didn’t involve an American. It involved a Pakistani national, a lot…

Games can be the perfect tools for feeling all-powerful, emphasizing power progression, large-scale enemy encounters, and pure destruction with few restrictions. After all, switching your brain off for a while and going full “Hulk smash” mode can be incredibly fun, and open-world developers are well aware of that. There are numerous open-world titles where freedom outshines realism, and players are entrusted with various supernatural abilities, can wield powerful magic, or at times can even play as godlike beings or chosen ones, killing hundreds, if not thousands, on their journey. But what about more grounded takes that are less about destruction…

Images by the author If you’ve ever priced out suppressors, you know the math gets painful fast. A quality can isn’t cheap, and between the cost, the wait, and the paperwork, most of us aren’t building a collection — we’re picking one, maybe two, and hoping we chose well. That’s the problem I think about every time someone asks me which suppressor they should buy: how do you get the most out of a single can? The folks at Silencer Shop have been answering that question for many shooters over the years. They’re one of the largest suppressor dealers in…

Travelers who research must-visit spots in Florida have no problem finding worthy attractions. If you know where to look, however, the Sunshine State is packed with wild, natural destinations often overlooked by visitors. These spots aren’t too secret, though, as most are easy to access, lying close to major cities.  Connect with these pristine areas, and you’ll see another side of Florida — one less traveled by tourists. These are trails calmed by the melody of chirping songbirds, and refreshed by surrounding towers of trees. Time it right and you’re in for an epic sunrise or sunset, maybe the serendipity…

Montgomery County, Maryland lawmakers are going back to the drawing board after the state Supreme Court recently ruled many of its “gun-free zones” violate the Second Amendment. Instead of erring on the side of the Constitution, though, it looks like county councilmembers are instead aiming to keep their carry laws as restrictive as possible.  In its decision handed down late last month, Maryland’s top court struck down the portion of the county’s Bruen response bill that made it illegal to carry within 100 yards of a “public assembly,” including anyone traveling on a highway in Montgomery…

You may already know that performing personal records in any athletic activity requires mental preparation. Athletes have been using a range of strategies to psych themselves up before a heavy lift for generations, long before science could prove it works. So, if you use smelling salts for that immediate jolt of readiness or pump up the high-energy music to set the energy level for the next activity, you know what works for you. You may learn a few more visualization techniques to help you mentally rehearse the lift, picture greater success, and apply flawless technique. Many of these methods work…

A federal appeals court has ruled that the federal government can pursue illegal gun possession charges against a Mexican immigrant living in the country illegally, nixing the idea that illegal aliens have the same Second Amendment rights as American citizens. Using the Bruen standard, on May 5, a three-judge panel of the Boston-based 1st Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that 8 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5)(A), which bans illegals from possessing firearms, fits within the history and tradition of this nation’s regulation of firearms rooted in English law and because it was enacted in the context of modern societal concerns about security…

United States ruler Donald Trump said that the ceasefire with Iran is “on life support.” The comments were made after Iran rejected the US’s latest counterproposal. Trump said that Iran’s proposal was “totally unacceptable” when presented with it a few days ago. He added that the state of the month-old truce is “unbelievably weak,” while speaking with reporters in the Oval Office. Trump: Iran’s Peace Plan Is “Totally Unacceptable” “I would call it the weakest, right now, after reading that piece of garbage they sent us — I didn’t even finish reading it,” Trump said. “I would say the ceasefire…

I don’t like it when people trot out the number of red flag orders that have been issued as evidence that the red flag law in question is working. That’s not a sign of the law’s effectiveness. That should be things like a drop in violent crime, a drop in suicides, or even a second round of the order after the initial issuance. In other words, something that shows the people getting hit are, in fact, a danger to themselves or others.But that starts with tracking the orders themselves, so the numbers matter.Unless, apparently, you’re…

First-person shooters have always been exciting, but class systems made them way more exciting. In FPS without classes, things basically came down to a player’s aim, speed, and map knowledge. Class-based games added another layer. The choice made before a match could shape how a whole team played once the action started. Class-based systems gave the genre much more personality. One class could protect the front line, and another could heal wounded allies. Someone else could scout ahead, reveal enemy positions, or build defenses that changed how a map was fought over. Every role brought a different job, and every…
